Description
A compact and low-growing form of Micromyrtus ciliata, selected from the Hollow Mountain area of the Grampians. This hardy shrub features masses of deep pink buds that open to soft white flowers through late winter and spring, creating a beautiful two-tone effect. The fine foliage adds year-round interest and is ideal for soft edging, native borders, or rockery plantings. Drought and frost tolerant once established, it thrives in well-drained soils and sunny positions. Occasional light pruning after flowering will help maintain a neat, dense habit.
